Nice simple game, I wish longer chains gave you more points, doesn't seem to be any reason to go for them.

At some resolutions the Time/Score/Best text gets cut off. http://i.imgur.com/fbE3eCb.png

Also completing a game adds it to your browser history, a bit non-intuitive when the url isn't changing.

My high score is 353. The key is to connect your lines (eg making a square), which is way quicker than trying to do a long line.

Thanks for pointing out the screen resolution and browser history things.

Ya this looks like just make as many 2-dot connections as possible

Oh wow, I didn't know that there was timing or scoring. Just suddenly it told me I had 61 points. It was very jarring and confusing.

Thumbs down.

I was set up for a massive yellow line and it did this. Had a minor rage moment there I've not had in years!
